I stumbled upon this old thread of mine when looking at the last picture i posted. I see that many rec. the SPI clear and i also said i would keep it updated with more work i have done.

Needless to say, i love the gun. As for that, i have an upcoming project i am doing for a customer and i will be using the 1:1 SPI universal clear for it.

Here is a few pictures of stuff i did, i don't have anything else uploaded on the hosting site though.

Cant argue that...but when i called SPI the owner picked up. We spoke on the phone for about 30 minutes....and that was without me putting 1 order in (yet). Definitely top knotch service that i will support in the future!

--- At the psi i am running, with the fluid adjustment all the way out... I am still slowing myself down more than i would like... I spray really fast... but i tend to get better work when i run what i am and go slower than i really want.

I am not a slug or anything, it's still fast... just not what i naturally would like to move.

The reason i run lower psi is simply because... less overspray = less material waste... and also less of a mess from that overspray when im done.

--- Yeah, i like the gun a lot... I have found a sweet spot for the way i am shooting... I am shooting the color 20-23psi, and clear i turn it up to around 27-30psi...

Some more stuff that i have done since i got the gun...

Lower PSI usually means less overspray/fog... also... the reason why it says to use 33psi is because thats what the gun is set up for... for the most ideal atomization of material coming out.

Noob question...why would the lower psi setting help , when a couple of guys stated earlier to use ~33psi?

just sprayed with it today. i def. have to get used to it. It says on the cheat sheet to spray 33-40 psi... that crap is crazy @ that psi...

I was spraying bc/cc @ 20 psi and it came out great. idk why it says such high psi requirements. I used the rest of that "klines auto uni clear" and it didnt come out like glass. but def... way smoother than it has been out of the HF gun.

i am going to stick with my 497-00 nason clear. i like the fact that its thin and shoots out faster. runs easier... but IMO... easier to lay out.

this is the 94 acura integra gsr i shot today.
